1 E Buxton, Leegem, 89-12-0; peg island 41 It was hard to believe that this was the last day of December. The carp fed with a vengeance and anglers needed 40lb to be in the top fourteen. Eddie Buxton drawn 41 on the island caught carp to 9lb on bomb and corn for 89-12-0 and to win the match.

1 L Richmond, Riverside, 55-10-0; peg island 39 Gale force winds blowing from the north made it almost impossible to fish the pole. Bomb was the order of the day and Les Richmond had a dozen carp from the point of the island on the feeder alternating maggot and meat.

Dave Nuttal was second with 4 carp and skimmers fishing bomb and meat.
